500,000 women participated in the Women’s March on Washington on January 21, 2017.

My friend Dawn Onley was one of them.

Those who couldn’t make the trek to Washington, D.C., joined together in solidarity in their respective cities. Experts say, more than 1 million rallied in the U.S. and around the world.

As I watched from a distance, I was inspired and could only think –

Girl power is real. The sisterhood is on fire. Unity is amazing. Love is contagious. The magic is real. We’ve got the juice!

The world’s not ready for these ladies, but it doesn’t matter, we’re coming anyway. Women who hope are just getting started.

If you attended the march or know someone who did, post their pictures here. Let’s show the world just how powerful we are.
